Thanks for mentioning PMAlerts! If you'd like to connect and try out a leadgen feature (currently in private preview), I'd love to see if we can turn some of the signals you're catching into qualified leads. Feel free to emai

Hey everyone - this is the dashboard I use to monitor some of the hamsters powering PMAlerts. Happy to answer any Qs you may have. If you click on the little boxes (task executions), you can see a bit more information about the task.

We have similar backgrounds, and similar struggles. There is light at the end of the tunnel. FWIW, I'm also about a decade behind-the-curve because of childhood trauma. I'm reminded of it every day - peers within my age group have

For sure. I have to periodically prune my social media accounts because whenever I hear about the latest atrocity, failure of the system, injustice, etc, I get all fired up and become a wannabe activist who thinks we can change the world wi

Hi everyone - just wanted to drop a message here in case you sent me an email and I haven't responded yet. First - thank you for the super supportive and encouraging vibes here, and for the candid feedback. Really, really appreciat

Ooh this is implemented! If you click on "Filters" at the top of any selected alert, you'll see options for keyword filtering, username filtering, and domain filtering. The UI/UX is a bit immature, so if you use it and h

No you don't! You can use PMAlerts without even providing your email if you'd like.

Pleasure to connect, and congrats on the success! I envy your alert times :). I actually don't scrape all of GitHub (or any platform)... I just simulate a user performing a keyword search and share new results.

by fstopmick 6y ago
Thank you! Most platforms have a combination of "poll via search engines" and "poll natively". Native polling mirrors the functionality of performing a keyword search using the platform's search functionality.

Thanks for the heads up about this

Hey Kevsim - thanks for the heads up and sorry about that - that's a familiar bug that I thought was fixed. I'll try to repro, would love to connect via email to confirm any attempted fixes - m@pmalerts.com

by fstopmick 6y ago
Yes, for sure. If you'd like to help me nail down the MVP for this, feel free to send an email (m@pmalerts.com). Would love to have some company over there.

I like this a lot. I'll incorporate it - thank you!

Thanks uberneo! I'm using Sendgrid for emails (looking to switch to something with high deliverability, high trust, and easy analytics if you have any suggestions!) and Twilio for texts (super friendly SDKs).

Thanks nyellin - and for sure! If you used the onboarding flow or "result preview" functionality, you'll only see recent Twitter results. But if you create an alert for your personal blog and select "Custom" along w

Thank you! Right now LinkedIn results show you what you'd see from a timeboxed google search, like "ryanr site:linkedin.com", but this will change once I have either 1) time to implement deep native polling, or 2) a service t

Thanks very much! And yes it is - I'm using PMAlerts to learn how to listen, and Karma is teaching me how to think and write (though it's a bit less mature)

I'm hearing similar feedback from others on all three items - if you shoot me your email to m@pmalerts.com I'll upgrade + verify you manually while I troubleshoot. Thanks for confirming these, and sorry for the headache!

by fstopmick 6y ago
Woohoo! Email is m@pmalerts.com if you need anything (a bit behind at the moment, but I generally aim for responses within a day). Would love to connect + learn more about your use-case and general needs/challenges in this space.

Thanks very much! The prototype was a console application I built a little under a year ago (Jan 2020). I've been chipping away at it on nights and weekends since then... maybe about 10 hours per week on average (some none, some double

I haven't, mostly because I'm scared of the liability. My code is pretty sketchy for everything but Twitter, and for that I use LinqToTwitter (.NET) which is already OSS (and amazing).

Ack, thanks for the heads up RE the "register" copy. Just pushed a fix. Edit: RE the Upgrade button - once that 0 goes to nonzero, it should work. It's poor design on my end, I'll improve the UX asap. Thanks for trying i

Hmmm... I could have a setting for PMAlerts integrations (slack, teams, discord, zoom) that configures it to not only feed alert results into the app, but to listen to that server's contents for you and only you . A bit tricky wit

For anyone curious about the services being used to support platform polling, I'm using serpapi.com for the Custom and LinkedIn options on PMAlerts. I highly recommend experimenting with this service - lots of potential gets unlocked a
